Blue Ghost UK Premiere Tour 2023
​
Rich, rhythmical flamenco meets live electronic music in this innovative, multi-disciplinary production. Noemí Luz & Magdalena Mannion will premiere Blue Ghost in the UK this spring. Get your tickets here!
Luz & Mannion draw our attention to the unexpected beauty and rhythm harboured in the insect world in a visual, dynamic and electric flamenco show. Inspired by the Blue Ghost Firefly & the importance of insect conservation this is a nostalgic celebration that reminds us of our interconnectedness, embraces our need for transformation & shows us that even the smallest creatures have an important part to play.

Alongside theatre performances Luz & Mannion will be presenting Blue Ghost Sensory Experiences for SEN Schools and Groups as well as collaborating with a variety of schools and organization on outreach activities.

Re Red at the Centro Coreográfico de María Pagés
Luz & Mannion will develop Re Red in residency at the Centro Coreográfico de María Pagés at the Teatro Josep Carreras, Fuenlabrada, Madrid. There will be an open dress rehearsal & Q&A on the 22nd July 2022.
​
This project takes various forms: a stage work, a site specific piece for library spaces and a dance film short as well as an integrated outreach program. Re Red is a re-reading and re-interpretation of fairy tales and an investigation into the role they play in the collective experience of women. Magdalena and Noemí delve ever deeper beneath the surface of these iconic stories and into a fairytale forest imbued with symbolism.
​
Re Red is a collaboration with sound designer José Tomé.
